FOREWORD. 

The Beta of Illinois chapter of Phi Beta Kappa 
has completed its first decade of life. Its record so 
far is distinctly creditable. Its standard of mem- 
bership has been kept high. That membership, when 
won, has been greatly prized. The shifting of res- 
idence has made the compilation of the address list 
difficult. There may be many errors although much 
effort has been made to secure accuracy. The secre- 
tary will welcome corrections. He is under obliga- 
tions to the Secretary of the United Chapters, Mr. 
Oscar M. Voorhees, for many courtesies. Certain 
published accounts of the Phi Beta Kappa have been 
drawn upon for information and suggestions. ^^^ For 
the use of several of the cuts of badges he is indebt- 
ed to the kindness of Mr. Edward R. Roehm, man- 
ufacturer of Phi Beta Kappa badges, 16 John R. 
St., Detroit, Michigan. The publication of this book- 
let is by authority of the chapter.

HISTORICAL SKETCH. 




THE POUNDING OF THE PHI BETA KAPPA 
SOCIETY. 

The Phi Beta Kappa Society was 
founded at the Koyal College of William 
and Mary, "Williamsburg, Virginia, De- 
cember 5, 1776, by John Heath, Thomas 
Smith, Richard Booker, Armistead Smith 
and John Jones. Tradition asserts that 
the first meeting was held in the Apollo 
room of the Raleigh Tavern, where Patrick 
Henry made his great speech. The first offi- 
cers were ; John Heath, President ; Richard Booker, 
Treasurer; and Thomas Smith, Secretary. The 
original records of the society are published in 
The William and Mary College Quarterly for April 
1896 (pp. 213-244), and after a list of forty-nine 
members ''who have been initiated into the S. P. 
alias $ B K Society," the quaint record reads: 

" On Thursday, the 5th of December, in the year of 
our Lord God one thousand seven hundred and seventy- 
six, and the first of the Commonwealth, a happy spirit 
and resolution of attaining the important ends of Society 
entering the minds of John Heath, Thomas Smith, Rich- 
ard Booker, Armstd. Smith, and John Jones, and after- 
ward seconded by others, prevailed, and was accordingly 
ratified. 

And for the better establishment and sanctitude of our 
unanimity, a square silver medal was agreed on and insti- 
tuted, engraved on the one side with S. P., the initials of 

the Latin S P , and on the other, agreeable to 

the former, with the Greek initials of ^ B K, and an index 
imparting a philosophical design, extended to the three 
stars, a part of the planetary orb, distinguished."

THE FIRST DESIGN FOR THE BADGE. 



On the 5th of January, 1777, a meeting was held 
to adopt a mode of initiation and plan for better se- 
curity. The record continues : 

" And first in corporation, an oath of fidelity being 
considered as the strongest preservative, an initiation was 
accordingly resolved upon and instituted as follows: 

I, A. B., do swear on the holy Evangelists of Almighty 
God, or otherwise, as calling the Supreme Being to attest 
this my oath, declaring that I will, with all my possible 
efforts, endeavor to prove true, just, and deeply attached 
to this our growing fraternity; in keeping, holding, and 
preserving all secrets that pertain to my duty, and for the 
promotion and advancement of its internal welfare." 

On the 1st of March, 1777, a set of by-laws was 
adopted which declared that the Deity should be in- 
voked in every design or attempt, great or small; 
provided for a badge of membership to be worn by 
every one after initiation ; limited membership to 
collegians over sixteen years of age and unanimously 
elected ; provided for regular meetings, for the pro- 
gramme, for the regulation of conduct and the 
method of procedure, and for fines for non-attend- 
ance; and arranged other matters connected with 
the society. 



BETA OF ILLINOIS 9 

At subsequent meetings there were literary ex- 
ercises consisting of declamations on subjects of in- 
terest. The initiation fee, originally 6s., was raised 
to five dollars, and fines were quite common and 
heavy, on September 23d, 1780, for example, Joshua 
Cabell being fined $20.00 for non-attendance on the 
evening he was appointed to declaim, and Messrs. 
Swan, Lee, Washington, Madison and Nivison, $15.00 
for being absent on evenings when disengaged. 

The anniversary of the founding of the society 
was observed regularly at the Raleigh tavern, where 
*'the night was spent in Jollity and Mirth." The 
rule limiting membership to collegians was abrogat- 
ed, December 10th, 1778. On May 4th, 1779, the pro- 
priety of extending the influence of the society by 
establishing branches was discussed, and after some 
weeks a form of charter was adopted, and Beta, 
Gamma and Delta chapters were provided for by 
charters granted to members apparently for the pur- 
pose of starting branches in nearby parts of Virginia. 
The Epsilon was voted to Elisha Parmale on Decem- 
ber 4, 1779, to be used at Harvard, and five days 
later the Zeta was voted him for use at Yale. In 
March, 1780, the Eta was granted for a chapter in 
Richmond, and in May the Theta for a branch 
in Westmoreland. Expansion then ceased and on 
January 6, 1781, in the excitement of that year in 
Virginia, it seemed best to close up the affairs of the 
society. It is probable that Phi Beta Kappa would 
have ceased to exist had it not been for the two char- 
ters granted to Elisha Parmale for Harvard and 
Yale.

THE SOCIETY AND ITS EARLY MEMBERS. 

**Just fifty men became members of the society 
during the four years of its life at William and 
Mary, and during that brief period they wrought out 
all the essential features of the Greek-letter frater- 
nity and so incorporated them in their laws and tradi- 
tions that they have strongly influenced fraternity 
practice in all subsequent years. 

Thus they had their badge or medal, which from 
the first contained the date of the organization ; the 
initials of the Latin and Greek mottoes ; and the in- 
dex pointing to the stars as the symbol of high as- 
pirations. They had a constitution, a form of 
initiation with its ' ' Oath of Fidelity, ' ' a grip, a seal, 
and society colors. They held regular meetings for 
business and literary purposes, and from the first 
observed the anniversaries of the organization with 
social functions, which absent members were urged 
to attend. They magnified the term ''fraternity" 
and the bond of brotherhood, and soon began to 
discuss the question of expansion. As a result, char- 
ters were granted for branches at Harvard and Yale, 
they being designated the Alphas of their respective 
states. Full and free correspondence between the 
various branches was to take the place of the fra- 
ternity conventions and publications of to-day. 
Thus it is seen that every essential idea of the college 
Greek-letter fraternity was developed in the early 
days of this unique organization. 

The men who made the Phi Beta Kappa are as 
worthy of study as the organization itself, for they

immediately began to distinguish themselves in the 
public life of their time. More than one-fourth of 
them served in the patriot army, and nearly one- 
third of them became members of the Virginia legis- 
lature. There were enough of them in the conven- 
tion of 1788, which ratified the Constitution of the 
United States, on the part of Virginia, to hold the 
balance of power and to determine the issue for rati- 
fication. From their number men were chosen to the 
Continental Congress and the Congress of the United 
States. One was clerk of the House of Representa- 
tives from its organization, and also Librarian 
of Congress. Two were esteemed judges of the 
highest court of Virginia; for a time two were 
United States Senators, one representing his native 
state and the other Kentucky, and for many years 
two others sat side by side as members of the Su- 
preme Court of the United States, one of these being 
John Marshall, the Chief Justice. Thus, from the 
first, Phi Beta Kappa has been noted for its distin- 
guished members. "^2) 

THE DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH OF THE 
SOCIETY. 

Mr. Parmale established the Yale chapter in 1780 
and the Harvard in 1781 and these joined in starting 
one at Dartmouth in 1787. These three granted a 
charter to Union in 1817, and between that date and 
1878 eighteen other branches were established.

'*Dowii to 1881, all of the chapters seem 
to have possessed the following characteris- 
tics, viz., the delivery of an oration and 
poem in public at commencement time, and 
the holding of a business meeting in private, 
where the officers and members for the en- 
suing year were chosen, the former being 
graduates and the latter the best scholars 
of the incoming senior class." (Baird.) 
In 1881 when the Harvard chapter celebrated its 
centennial, each of the twenty-three chapters was in- 
vited to send delegates with power to represent the 
chapter in a convention. At the meeting held at 
Cambridge, June 30, 1881, twelve chapters were rep- 
resented by twenty-nine delegates. Nothing was 
done until a second meeting in New York, October 
18, 1881, at which time the creation of a National 
Council and the adoption of a constitution were re- 
commended. At a third meeting, at Saratoga 
Springs, September 6 and 7, 1882, the constitution 
was adopted, and since that time affairs have been 
managed by the organization known as the ' ' United 
Chapters of the Phi Beta Kappa Society." The roll 
of chapters January 1, 1909, is as follows :^^^

THE BADGE AND COLORS. 

The badge of the society consists of a gold key 
engraved on one side with the Greek initials of the 
name, the date of founding of the original chapter, 
and a hand pointing to a cluster of stars. On the 
other side are the Latin initials ''S. P." and some- 
times the name, college, and class, or date of initia- 
tion of the owner. The Greek letters stand for the 
motto of the society [^tAoo-o</>ta Biov Kv^£pvr}T7]<5], usu- 
ally translated ''Philosophy the guide of Life." The 





THE STANDARD BADGE. 

number and meaning of the stars are various. The 
original badge had three stars on it. The New York 
chapters took the number of stars that indicated 
their distance from the Alpha. Two, three, five, 
six, seven, nine, ten and thirteen are used by differ- 
ent chapters with various significance. The mean- 
ing of "S. P." has been variously interpreted as 



16 PHI BETA KAPPA 

Societas Philosophiae, Societas Philosophica, Socie- 
tatis Particeps, Societatum Princeps, Societas Phil- 
osophorum, Signuin Principmm, Salus Patriae, Sci- 
entia et Priidentia. Scientia et Philosophia. The ori- 
ginal records indicate that these letters represented 
an alternative name of the Society. Investigations 
by Dean E. A. Birge of the University of Wisconsin 
seem to show that one of the first two interpretations 
given above is the probable correct wording. 

The colors of the society are pink and blue, al- 
though there is authentic evidence of pink and green 
as perhaps the original colors used. 

THE ADMISSION OF WOMEN. 

"In this respect Phi Beta Kappa is abso- 
lutely unique among Greek-letter fratern- 
ities. It was not of set purpose that the so- 
ciety thus broadened its ideas respecting 
membership. It is true that the original 
charters contained the bold statements that 
"it is repugnant to the liberal principles of 
societies that they should be confined to any 
place, men, or description of men, and as the 
same should be extended to the wise and vir- 
tuous of every degree and every country;" 
— but it is scarcely possible that the found- 
ers imagined that women would sometimes 
be included among the "wise and virtuous" 
to whom membership should be extended. 
However, as scholarship came to be the 
chief requisite, and as the privilege of pur- 



BETA OF ILLINOIS 17 

suing full collegiate courses was granted 
to women, it was only a matter of time when 
their eligibility should be recognized, and 
they be admitted as a matter of right, not of 
concession. The problem was first faced by 
the Alpha chapter of Vermont at the Uni- 
versity when, in 1875, two women attained 
the honor grade. As at the first appearance 
of woman it required a deep sleep on the 
part of man to prepare him to receive his 
helpmate, so the Vermont chapter slept over 
the proposition, and the next day accorded 
the women the welcome to which they were 
rightfully entitled. The issue once decided, 
other chapters had less difficulty in adapt- 
ing their practice to the changed conditions. 
In the Cornell chapter, which was organized 
in 1883, no restrictions as to sex have ever 
prevailed. As co-education has become es- 
tablished in some Eastern and practically all 
Western institutions, a large proportion of 
the chapters now admit women. Chapters 
also exist in five colleges for women, Vassar 
being the first of the class to win the coveted 
honor. Her charter was granted in 1889. 
The Columbia and Western Reserve chap- 
ters have established a separate section 
for the students in the women's colleges 
affiliated with the respective universities. At 
the recent Council, President Mary E. Wool- 
ley, of Mt. Holyoke, was chosen a member 



18 PHI BETA KAPPA 

of the Senate. Phi Beta Kappa has elimi- 
nated all fortuitous distinctions, such as 
race, color, creed, and sex, and selects its 
members primarily on the basis of scholar- 
ship. It is essentially democratic, while 
constantly recognizing the aristocracy of in- 
tellectual acquirements. It thus enjoys the 
proud distinction of being, among American 
educational institutions, the chief '"con- 
server and rewarder of scholastic attain- 
ments. "(4)

CONSTITUTION. 

ARTICLE I. 

COMPOSITION OF THE NATIONAL COUNCIL. 

The National Council of the Phi Beta Kappa 
Society shall consist of the Senators hereinafter 
spoken of, and of delegates from the several Chap- 
ters of the Society. Each Chapter shall be en- 
titled to send three delegates, who shall be graduates 
of at least five years' standing and members of the 
Phi Beta Kappa Society, but not necessarily of the 
Chapter by which they are chosen. 

ARTICLE II. 

THE SENATE. 

The Senate shall originally consist of twenty 
Senators, chosen by the delegates at the first session 
of the National Council, from the Society at large. 
These shall be divided into two classes, whose terms 
of office shall expire at the adjournment of alter- 
nate regular sessions of the National Council. At 
every subsequent regular session the places of the 
outgoing class shall be filled by election as follows: 
On the day preceding the first day of each regular 
session of the National Council, the Senate shall 
meet, and shall nominate fifteen candidates in ad- 
dition to the members of the outgoing class for the 
ten vacant seats, and also two candidates for the un- 
expired terms of each Senator who may have died 
or resigned since the last regular session. Other 
persons not nominated by the Senate may be pre- 
sented as candidates at the time of the election. Of 



22 PHI BETA KAPPA 

every ten members whose term of office shall expire, 
one may be elected by the Council Senator for life. 
In every election of Senators a majority of the votes 
cast shall be required to elect, and in such elections 
the outgoing Senators shall have no vote. The Sen- 
ate may fill vacancies in its own body till the next 
meeting of the National Council. 

ARTICLE III. 

OFFICERS OF THE NATIONAL COUNCIL. 

The officers of the National Council shall be a 
President, a Vice-President, a Secretary, and a 
Treasurer, and such others as may be found neces- 
sary from time to time. The President shall be 
chosen from among the Senators. 

ARTICLE IV. 

SESSIONS AND FUNCTIONS OF THE COUNCIL. 

The National Council shall meet every third year 
at such place and time as shall have been determined 
by the officers of the United Chapters, and shall pro- 
ceed at once to the election first of its officers and 
next of the Senators. The National Council shall 
make such rules as may be found necessary for the 
carrying out of any provision of this Constitution. 

ARTICLE V. 

THE SENATE AND ITS FUNCTIONS. 

During the sessions of the National Council the 
Senate shall have no separate existence, but its mem- 
bers shall take their places with the delegates as 
members of the National Council, voting with the 
delegates, as well upon all other matters as upon the 



BETA OF ILLINOIS 23 

election of Officers and Senators, except as provided 
in Article II. When the National Council is not in 
session the Senate shall constitute an independent 
body, charged with the duty of representing the Phi 
Beta Kappa Society and speaking in its name, and 
exercising, in addition, the functions of a permanent 
Executive Committee of the National Council. It 
shall hold its meetings at such times and places as it 
shall determine, being first called together by that 
Senator, who, at the original election of the Senate, 
shall have been elected by the largest number of 
votes. It shall recommend candidates for election as 
Senators. It shall also have power to call an extra 
session of the National Council. It shall further- 
more prepare and recommend to the consideration of 
the National Council such matters as it may deem 
proper. It shall transmit its lists of candidates and 
of matters recommended for discussion, by the hands 
of the Secretary, to the presiding Officer of the Na- 
tional Council, immediately upon its organization be- 
ing completed. It shall also transmit, in the same 
manner, to the National Council a report of its do- 
ings between the sessions of the Council. Nothing 
herein shall be so construed as to derogate from the 
right of the National Council to appoint Committees 
to sit between sessions, independently of the Senate, 
and to report at the next session. 

ARTICLE VI. 

NEW CHARTERS. 

Applications for charters shall, in all cases, be 
made to the Senate, at least six months before the 
regular session of the National Council; the Senate 



24 PHI BETA KAPPA 

shall at once notify all the Chapters of such ap- 
plications, and such applications shall be report- 
ed to the National Council with the recommend- 
ation of the Senate at the next meeting of 
the Council, and shall be passed upon by the Council, 
which shall have exclusive power to grant charters. 
But no charters shall be issued without the con- 
sent of delegations representing a majority of the 
chapters. 

ARTICLE VII. 

BY-LAWS AND RULES OF ORDER. 

The National Council at any of its sessions, and 
the Senate at any time, may respectively make such 
By-Laws and Rules of Order as may be thought ex- 
pedient for their use, provided the same be not in- 
consistent with any of the provisions of this Con- 
stitution. A quorum of the National Council shall 
consist of delegates from a majority of the chapters 
and not fewer than three Senators ; the Senate shall 
determine the number which shall constitute its 
quorum. (The present number is five.) 

ARTICLE VIII. 

RIGHTS OF CHAPTERS. 

Nothing contained in this constitution shall be 
construed as empowering the Senate or the National 
Council to restrict or abridge the rights or privileges 
now exercised by chapters, except as expressly pro- 
vided herein. 



BETA OF ILLINOIS 25

less the same shall have been proposed at the session 
of the National Council next preceding the session at 
which the proposed change is voted for ; and no vote 
shall be had upon any such proposed change except 
at a stated hour previously ordered by the meeting, — 
and no amendment shall be made without the concur- 
rence of the delegations of two-thirds of the Chapters
